Monday is the 16th anniversary of the World
Trade Center tragedy. Each year we dedicate this column to honor, reflect and
pay tribute to those lost in the attacks that so shocked this country and the
world and continues to threaten peace.
Our lives have been changed forever by the attacks on the
Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the attempted attack on the White House and the
Capitol.
Let’s take time to remember the lost victims, the heroes
that lost their lives working to save others, the brave passengers on Flight 93
who fought the hijackers and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, and all the
family members left behind. Let’s remember the surviving heroes that risked
their lives to save or recover victims in the aftermath and those lost from
illnesses due to exposure from the aftermath of the attacks.
The United States of America is truly a great country. We are blessed with a heritage of Freedom. Even
when times are tough and even with all our challenges, even when we disagree,
we stick together to protect each other and honor what we hold sacred. The inspiring stories from the recent storm,
Hurricane Harvey in Texas, do credit to the American spirit, the goodness that
comes from within - our country’s true heritage.
May God Blessed America and Guide us through difficult
times strengthening us with resolve to always do what’s right, and protect and
preserve freedom throughout the world.
